Testimonials

Markarian Realty Group made the impossible happen. We had worked with a different agency at the beginning of our home buying journey, and all we ran into was closed doors and issues that couldn't be resolved. We got in contact with Markarian Realty, the agency that we had previously spoken with 3 years before being totally prepared to buy a home. It was the best decision we made! Many challenges arose along the way but Vic and Vahe worked around the clock, (even during late hours of the night) to solve any and all problems. Vic is just an awesome guy, Vahe a highly knowledgable and fun person to work with! They also got us in contact with the lender that made escrow a breeze. Hard work, dedication, and customer loyalty is what you will see here at Markarian Realty! We love our new house and will definitely recommend Markarian Realty to all of our family and friends. You guys rock!

We stumbled upon Markarian Realty by complete chance, after our previous agent stopped working with us without any heads up. I assume it was the fact that I was using a VA loan. Brett was the agent that answered the call. From the first time we met him, we knew this guy was a master of his craft, what we didn't know was how much time and energy Brett was willing to dedicate to making sure we bought a home we were happy with. He was honest, down to earth and very knowledgeable about VA and all other types of loans. When we would meet up for home viewings it always turned out to be a pleasant learning experience. He fought for us, he worked for us, and at no point did we ever feel like second class customers. Thank you Brett for always going above and beyond expectations, you have made our ideal home a reality. Anyone in my circles thinking of buying or selling a home will hear my recommendation to work with Brett and Markarian Realty.

I'd like to thank Vic Markarian Realty Group along with my agent Sandra 'Magaly' Varela.

An incredibly professional group that isn't afraid to be assertive on your behalf when it finally comes time to negotiate that all-important sale or purchase. I highly recommend them and couldn't be happier with my experience.

I would recommend no other but THE BEST! Markarian Realty Group. While everyone else just talks, these guys deliver. Ask for Joann! This classy, intelligent and experienced woman knows how to make the impossible very much so possible! Markarian Realty Group helped my purchase my first investment home!

I've known Vic Markarian for over 40 years, we bought our first house through him. My entire family and I trust him very much. We also purchased this property through him about five years ago. When it came time for us to sell we called the Markarian Group among others. While we knew many agents, the Markarian Group was the only team that had a database of active buyers that they showed to me – over 4500 at the time. They also put on our for sale sign a rider “buy this home we buy yours”, that if a buyer had home to sell, they would buy it themselves, so the buyer can purchase our property without a contingency. Vic brings a wealth of value in his service. He is a great negotiator and knows exactly all aspects of the real estate business inside out including his superior marketing ability. When our property hit the market, we had about 9 offers. The first buyer could not get his financing, and Vic was totally on top of the situation by giving the other party notice to perform then demand to close escrow. He gave the other agent and the buyer several chances, but they could not perform. Immediately, after cancelling the escrow, Vic opened another escrow with a new all cash buyer. In the end, we sold our property in 13 days (after cancellation of the previous escrow), all cash, as is at asking price.

Angelia and Vic are the best! My wife and I are first time home buyers, and were dreading the home buying process. They made the whole experience easy and pain free. They go above and beyond what the typical agent will do to make their clients feel at ease. Thank you Angelia and Vic!

I have bought a few properties from Vic and Edik and every single time they have provided me with excellent service and its been an honor working with true professionals.

I've dealt with few different real estate companies and realtors, then I met VIC! the man is very dedicating, loyal and very well experienced with real estate business, he always made time and worked around my hectic work schedule to go look at houses. We couldn't be more pleased with his service. This was our first home and dream home purchase. will always recommend him for family and friends. Thank you VIC & Markarian realty !!

This was the first time my Fiance and I purchased a home and Vic and his team, Mainly John Gunson, were absolutely wonderful and so helpful. We were able to get a viewing of the house immediately, and John helped us out plan the best way for us to move forward with our budget in mind. He was absolutely professional and friendly throughout the whole process. I highly recommend using Vic and his team if you ever have the option too. They helped us get into our dream home and got us a fantastic deal on it too.

Vic Markarian was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Since we had not bought or sold any property in 30 yrs. we completely depended upon on his expertise to navigate the unfamiliar territory. He exceeded our expectations and we were very satisfied with the results. Vic was our moral compass and always had our best interests in mind. He guided us from the preparation for the listing, provided a very talented photographer, advertised successfully to get 46 showings in 7 days, resulting in 10 bids and a sale within about a week, at a price that exceeded the listed price. Throughout the process, he went above and beyond, always accessible, and answered our numerous questions promptly and thoroughly. We would definitely recommend him without reservations.

Vic Markarian was an excellent Real Estate Agent, he sold my home at asking price within 4 weeks after listing the property. He handled the process very smoothly and professionally. I would definitely recommend Vic to anyone who is buying or selling.

I would definitely recommend Vic Markarian! As a Glendale resident over the last 6.5 years, I had received countless postcards in the mail simply advertising Vic's Real Estate Company, so there was proof off the bat that he puts time and money into advertising. After wasting a bunch of time listed with two other Realty companies that proved to be disastrous and even negligent. Vic had my property sold on the first day and it sold for well above the asking price- he's one of the nicer guys in this industry and there are some really slimy guys in Real Estate, so don't waste your time- just call Vic right off the bat! Thanks Vic!

Thank Heaven you were my agent Vic. The first one I trusted brought me a big basket of cookies in the beginning, then disappeared. Most of the time, the only answer I would receive to my calls placed to him was the echo of my voice. Thank Providence you were not like the buyer's agent, for I would not like a seller to go through what I had to go. Thanks for being friendly and professional at the same time, a balance hard to strike by novices in this business.

I had a great experience working with Markarian Realty. They were knowledgable responsive and alway there to answer all my inquires every step of the way. The team went above and beyond to assure that all my needs were met and served as a liaison between me the listing agent and the loan office. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have gotten the house of my dreams and closed at the time that I needed. I would recommend them to anyone one looking for a home in the la and surrounding areas!

Thank you Vic for putting our home in escrow in about 6 days! We were also happy that you sold it at a price more than what we expected. Since homes inventory was low, I was very nerves to make the move but somehow I trusted you handling the sell of my home and hoping finding us a new home. I know this was not one of your easiest transaction to deal with since you had to deal with many issues and agents. Overall, you did a great job on closing the escrow on our present home, so we can close escrow on our new purchase. Your great marketing, communication, availability and quick response made all this kind of less hassle.

Thank you Vic for selling our home for $15,000 over asking price. We were very concerned about the buyer’s loan, but we trusted your professional opinion that the escrow would close and it did. Somehow we believed, trusted you, and we are glad we did. I also want to thank you for charging the buyers daily PITI for being late in closing, and for helping us remove the pots in the yard. You always communicated, by phone, text or email and we appreciate that.

Vic thank you for your help with selling our home. We never thought that it would sell for over the asking price and in only 6 days. I know it was not an easy transaction for you since you had to deal with many people including two opposing attorneys, and you did a great job. When I first spoke with you over the phone, I trusted you handling the sell of my home. I will definitely refer friends and family members to you.

Vic, You got a client for life! My home listing expired after 7 months, and you sold my home in less than two weeks. In addition to that, you sold it $11,000 over asking price. My sister found your number through a website, and we are so happy to find you. I worked with over 5 agents before, but you are the best in your industry. As I indicated, that I have another home to sell and you will be the one selling it. You are truly the best and the most honest agent I have ever worked with.

Thanks you for the great job selling our home. We were so happy that it only took about a week and for $28,000 more than listed. When we first met you about 22 years ago, you helped us purchase this home. When we thought of selling it, we called you and couple other agents. We compared the value that you provided, and it was superior than the other agents. In addition to that, we trusted you and felt much comfortable working with you.Your marketing , negotiation skills and quick response to our questions made the moving process less hassle.

Thanks for your hard work selling our home in about 7 days!! We were concerned that we’d have to pay two mortgages after buying our new home. We were able to close escrow without any problems because of your skill in negotiation and focus on the details. Thanks again, we’ll be referring you to our family and friends.

We love our new home, it feels like a vacation home. We are so grateful to have our offer accepted, your experience helped us beat out nine other offers. Over the last sixteen years of doing business with you, we have referred you to many family and friends. They have been equally satisfied with your ability to get the deal done!! Now you listed our first home and we are looking forward to get the best price and sell it fast! Thanks again Vic for your hard work, God Bless You and your family! We will continue to refer you to anyone that wants to buy or sell a home.

Vic, Thanks for finding us a great home in a beautiful area!. In this market with low inventory, we didn’t think we could afford the home of our dreams. You skillfully negotiated $30,000 off the list price. And another $10,000 off after inspection and appraisal. So we had $40,000 saving in purchasing at a difficult low inventory market! Wow! I will be getting the keys today. We couldn’t be happier with your service and advise. Thank you so much.

t was such a pleasure to work with Vic. Thank you for selling my home about 4% over the list price. My husband and I really respect and love working with you because you were always available for us and we trust you. We came across few bumps on the way with the appraisal situation but you were quick into taking action, helped the selling agent changed lenders and sold my home. We were also very pleased that one of your team members in the office found our next home which we should close in a week. Definitely we will refer friends and family members to you and Markarian Team.

Vartan has been our agent for over 20 years. We have trusted him with our 1st home purchase then and since he has helped us purchase our investment property. He is the most hones and knowledgeable agent we have gotten to know. We trust him with all our real estate needs and refer him to all our friends. Thank you Vic for your continued service to our community.

I want to express my sincere appreciation for Vic's honesty, hard work, customer service, and dedication. My uncle whom he sold a house to almost 20 years ago referred me to Vic. I was impressed by his experience, knowledge, and knew exactly why my uncle spoke so highly of him. Vic not only helped me shop around for a house, but also introduced me to the man of my dreams. After meeting my now husband, we bought a house. Since then, we have had two kids and needed a bigger house. Vic helped us buy our second house. We were very picky and wanted a specific type of house. He was and always has been patient with us. My husband and I were very busy with our jobs and family life, but he always worked around our schedule and made time to show us houses. Vic looked out for your best interest and when it was not a good deal, he advised us to walk away. We would have never been successful finding our dream home had it not been for Vic! He was a pleasure to work with and holds a special place in our hearts. God bless you!

We would like to thank him for the great job he did on the purchase of our home in Glendale. He was always available to answer to our calls. His marketing strategies and knowledge of the area were top notch. He also jumped through hoops to close a nearly impossible deal and worked through a difficult negotiation on the home we purchased. We would highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a home. Thanks again for arranging our dream home for us...

Through ICFN-TV ad we contacted Mr. Vartan Markarian. He promptly responded by meeting with us, and based on our interest he showed us various options, and within 2 months we moved into our new home. He impressed us with his knowledge, patience, kindness and honesty. We highly recommend him.

I found Vic’s name on line from a Christian Business site. We wanted to find a home that is close to top rated school for our kids. Vic assured us to do his best to find the home of our choice. We had several situations during escrow, concerning loan, Insurance and closing date. Vic handled it in the most professional way. Our family and friends definitely will be recommended to Markarian Realty.

I have now bought two houses and Vic was my agent both times. He made the most stressful and biggest decision in buying my homes easy. It seemed like he was holding my hand throughout the whole process. Vic had great knowledge on every aspect of buying a house. I.e Inspections, loans, escrow, etc. He made himself available every time I had a question regardless of the time of day. Vic worked tirelessly till the day I received the keys to my new house. He restored my faith that there are still good people left in this world. If I can describe Vic in three words, it would be: honest, knowledgeable and positive. I highly recommend Vic if you are looking to buy or sell a house.

Thank you Vic for doing such a great job, selling my home higher than the list price. Your one of a kind marketing created multiple offers, and we took the best one. You helped me to find this home, and when it was the time for me to sell it, I called you because I trust you. All my friends and family will be recommended to use Markarian Realty.

Vic Markarian from Markarian Realty did an awesome job selling my home. He was not only able to get 104% of the listed price but was able to sell it without putting into the market. Vic had a lot of buyers standing by and we were able to select the best offer. I got the price tha I wanted!! Vic also overcome some difficult situations very professionally, including handling a tenant situation, the buyer's loan approval and the whole escrow process. I'm very thankful to Vic and I have found an agent for life. All my friends and family will be recommended to use Vic Markarian.

Vic, thanks for helping us with our recent home purchase. We were concerned we'd miss the opportunity after hearing that the FHA requirements were changing. But with your hard work we quickly found a home we loved. Naturally, some challenges came up during escrow that were handled by you and your team of professionals. We were so pleased with your advise and constant communication throughout the entire home search and escrow, that we recommended our son who is in escrow with your team!!

When working with Vic, we were always at ease...knowing that we were in good hands. He was there from the beginning, when we were buying (our home) until the end. He is very professional and accommodating at the same time! He is a man you can trust, as he helps you make the best decision that's right for you. Vic, you are the best and I highly recommend you!

Vic Vartan Markarian saved my parents home from foreclosure two years ago. He sold my childhood home, for the highest price during the worst financial time our country was experiencing. I am forever thankful for all his real estate services.

Mr Markarian was the most real estate person I have ever met. He is very trust worthy and knows all aspects of the real estate market very well. He sold my property the highest at the worst financial crises time. He saved us lots of money in real estate commission and fees. Every time we needed to talk to him he would be always available if not he would return call very promptly. I have referred him to my colleagues and family and his done great for them as well.

My entire family and I trust him very much. He is a great negotiator and knows exactly all aspects of the real estate business. Thank you Vic for all your hard work.

Vic, my dream was to own an income property, and I want to thank you for helping me to purchase this great income property. I have been looking for income property for many years by myself and with other agents. You were not only an expert in this field, you got us a great deal. I would say we purchased way over $125,000 bellow market in this seller’s market. This transaction was indeed an uphill battle for you. Your knowledge and strong character made this possible.You even pulled up your sleeve and helped me to install a carbon monoxide and strap water heater when you noticed that it was not possible to access the property again. You were kind enough even after closing of escrow to help us with all sample of rental documents and other paper works. Indeed, your service is the best, and will definitely recommend to relatives and friends.

We had two transactions with Vic Markarian Realty Group and our agent, Joann was great to work with. We found new house in first week after we started searching, and in 30days escrow. For our old condo in Montrose, we sold our property in 1 day on market and sale completed in 30days. Joann had great knowledge, very energized with high responsibility. We were extremely satisfied with her outstanding service and strongly recommend her.

Vic Markarian has been my real estate over twenty years. I have purchased several properties from Vic. He makes the purchase process so easy. Vic is an experienced professional real estate agent who is always by your side . I would definitely refer all my friends and family to Vic

I have to say Vic had delivered all of what he promised he said he will do. He sold and helped to buy my property. My property was sold immediately! And he got the buyer to rent it back so I don't have to pack up until I found a property. I felt he listened to my needs and wants. There were many obstacles along the way but he was able to resolve it immediately and wisely. He also referred me to many vendors and was able to sell quickly. He was not only knowledgable but cares about his clients. In addition, he has a team of agents who work cooperatively. Vahe, agent from Markarian sold my property. John an agent from the same agency worked with me and helped me to find a great house in a nice neighborhood! They all worked so hard for their clients. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family! The Glendale Escrow they use were reliable and friendly too.
